No. These are SLES versions which I'm not intending to touch. See https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2024-02/msg01793.html and https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2024-02/msg01795.html for why. The most recent piece of hardware I've installed a fresh (but not exactly new, yet still fully supported) SLES version on would apparently offer Clang7 only, either. If anything I could see about building a newer Clang version myself; no idea how involved that is compared to the building of gcc (which I consider pretty straightforward, but that's biased by me being used to doing so).
